Best tour we've ever had-perfect first Athens experience

Kim_H, May 2026

Bianca was beyond description as a tour guide; fun, funny, engaging, eager to share her country with us and a wonderful storyteller. We've done many city tours, but this beat them all, and by a huge margin. Licensed tour guides in Greece are required to have advanced degrees and/or complete extensive training, and it shows. We had already walked around some on our own, but seeing it with Bianca was a totally different experience. She gave us SO MANY details that we'd have missed-why the Parliament guards wear what they do, march the way they do; the significance of the many details inside an Orthodox church; how and why the various neighborhoods developed and differ from each other. We experienced everything I'd hoped to see and more, except climbing the Acropolis (which isn't on this tour, but 360 views of it are!). Can you do Athens on your own? Sure. Will you miss anything? ABSOLUTELY! Do this tour-you won't regret it.

The tour was well worth...

Sharon_B, Sept 2024

The tour was well worth it. Giannis (John) was a knowledgeable and personable guide - his historical knowledge was excellent and insightful - we had a wonderful conversational throughout the tour. It is a lot of walking but so many sites were covered. We enjoyed our time!
